New Music

The Helio Sequence bestows upon us a new album and enlivens my heart with sweet melodic verse. Hear ye, hear ye, the album Negotiations is for you.

These slight of hand tricks are amazing! I love magic and secretly want to go to magic shows all the time. Recently, a friend visited New York and I told him about this amazing magic show I heard about in the Waldorf-Astoria. He and Adam erupted into laughter over the silliness of the idea. I tried to defend myself but I’m not sure if the argument held. Let it be known here, in this massive public space, that I LOVE MAGIC.

Enjoy.

 

Emoticon

Jill and I love the emoticon. In our own way we are trying to slowly pry it out of the sweaty grips of teenage girls and insecure boys and return it to the rightful hands of the everyman. Actually, that would be way more believable if the text message conversations between Jill and I didn’t resemble exactly that of a hopped-up teenager experiencing every feeling at the same time. Unfortunately, we are still learning to use emoticons responsibly. Texting as well for that matter. Methinks that texting every line we deem HI-larious from the show Happy Endings in “real time” isn’t the best use of data. But, whatevs.

In the spirit of over-using emoticons, I share with you this condensed version of the film Les Misérables. I saw it on a rainy Sunday afternoon, along with the rest of Charleston. It was beautiful and moving and long, but this little summary describes it in a way I never could with words. See below.

 

Pretty accurate summation I would say.

Search Queries: Vol. 3

I love this part! This is when I highlight a few of the gems that people type in to search engines, which (whether intentionally or not) then lead them to my blog. Let’s go!

• “nurse nude”  Methinks this refers to a Halloween post from 2011. I dressed up as a mental patient and Adam dressed as Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Everyone using this search is probably looking from some busty blond babe. Unfortunately (Fortunately?), they instead see a 6’5″ sassy man cross-dressing. Joke’s on you, sir.
• “job interview facebook”   I am the last person you should be consulting on how to ace your interview. Why? 26 and jobless. Enough said. But, I think this may be what you ended up finding.
• “two children holding hands” Ahh, yes, you know me so well. Sadly, this post from a couple weeks ago doesn’t have any mini-mes holding hands, but it does have a tiny tot with sunglasses and a fierce attitude. Enjoy.
• “pantomime babyparty” Interesting combination: One thing I hate and one thing I love. Oddly enough, one of my biggest pet peeves is watching people pantomime eating or drinking. It drives me insane. I hate how fake and exaggerated it looks and watching someone pretend to get primitive on a chicken thigh usually makes me feel itchy. ::shudder:: On the other hand, I love baby parties. Jill knows this about me (and is an accomplice, to boot!) Turns out your query led you here where I urged you to visit the blog Honest Toddler. Have at it!
• “which character nick or greatsby seems to be reflection of the author in the novel great gatsby” More importantly, who’s asking? Furthermore, looks like you’re reading a wee bit too much of this blog to make a Freudian slip like that…
• “sweet baby squirrel” I love this one. This video slays me. A little girl plays with a dead squirrel and pronounces it her new best friend. I’m not even surprised I get so many hits based off this query. Who wouldn’t want to see that?!
• “what is murderous rage” This IS!

I will CUT you

I’ve Joined the Masses

Now I can be super frustrated by typing on a touch-screen and take pictures of my food!!

Just kidding. Kind of.

Everybody is non-stop wailing about the benefits of becoming an iPhone owner and it felt like time to hop on the over-crowded bandwagon. There’s also the little fact that no one could really hear me anymore on my Crackberry (RIP keypad) so that wasn’t really ideal. Now I have an iPhone.

My New Year’s Resolution? Learn to use the darned thing!    Technology. Le sigh.
